The SlutWalk protest marches began on April 3, 2011 in Toronto, Canada and have since become an international movement sparking rallies across the world.[1]The SlutWalk rallies protest the belief that female rape victims are "asking for it".[2] The original march walked from Queen's Park to the Toronto Police Headquarters located on College Street.[3] All sexes, races, and sexual orientations were represented, and the attire of the marchers ranged from conservative to revealing to zany. The protesters marched in response to remarks made by a Toronto Police officer that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized", and also in response to comments made by a Manitoba judge when giving a convicted rapist a sentence of house arrest.
